Cute Cousins...
Tif and Peytie came to visit us last weekend...and we had a ball. Although, we wish that they could have stayed longer. We always love having family visit. Cam had so much fun playing Polly Pockets with Peyton, having Peyton read stories to her, and going to Sam Moon (which was Peyton's happy place...and Tif's too.) When we had to drop
them off at the airport, Cameryn was pretty bummed out. But I promised her that we would go visit them soon...she sure loves her cousins!

I am the White Trash Queen...
So, Chad called us this morning and asked if we wanted to meet him for lunch...we were so excited since we don't usually get to meet him for lunch, of course we agreed. I packed up the girls and planned to run to Wal-Mart after for some groceries...everything was working out perfectly. We met Chad and had a great lunch at one of our favorite dives (Braums...good burgers, great shakes). Chad had to duck out a few minutes before us to get back to work, but no problem, I have handled two kids somewhat successfully for almost 4 months now. As I grabbed Jordyn's car seat to carry her out to the car, I noticed a smell. A smell that I recognized and agonized...the mega-poop. I then noticed the lovely shade of yellow that her once white onsie was becoming...Awesome!! I tried to take her into the restroom to find the changing station...but of course since we went to a dive, there was no such thing in the restroom...Awesome! So, I do what any white trash woman would...I decide to change her diaper in the car (hey, the jeep has a lot of trunk space right?) I look in my purse for a new onsie to miraculously appear (but I would have to pack one in order for it to appear) so I was out of luck. I did have diapers and wipes, so I wasn't totally unprepared. After I cleaned her up and realized that her outfit was too poopey to wear, I decided that we'd just buy her a new one at Wal-Mart...but for now my poor child was wearing only a diaper. If it had been August, no big deal, but today was quite chilly and windy. So I put her in her car seat and snuggled her blanket around her as tightly as she would allow. And off we went to Wal-Mart. I raced into the store and went straight to the kids clothes where I found a warm outfit for her to wear. I raced back to the front of the store to purchase the outfit. I then raced to their bathroom to put her in the outfit, where numerous women watched in suspicion as I put her into her new clothes...I am sure that they thought that I was stealing it and using my baby as my accomplice, but I had my receipt so my conscience is clear. We then proceeded to do our grocery shopping. One more awesome part of this story...while changing Jordyn I leaned up against the hitch on the back of the jeep and I had black oil all over my khaki pants the whole time I was shopping at Wal-Mart. Seriously, an awesome experience! That Britney Spears ain't got nothin' on me. But every mom has had a day like this right?

Camping...well, sort of...
Chad had to put up our tent in the backyard to test it out before his scout camp out...and Cameryn was so excited about going "camping". But really our "camping" consisted of eating dinner in the tent and watching Aladdin. She had such a ball pretending that we were roughing it. She loved hanging out in the tent and jumping on the air mattresses!

Jordyn's Blessing Day...
We blessed Jordyn on Sunday (November 2). She was awake and alert through the whole thing and very reverent. She looked gorgeous and was such a good girl. Chad did a great job and Cameryn was even reverent during the blessing (a miracle). We missed having our family here but are lucky to have such great friends to participate and be with us.

Happy Halloween...
Cameryn had such a good time trick-or-treating this year, she went with Chad and some friends and got tons of goodies (to my dismay). She loved being "Briar Rose" aka Sleeping Beauty for the night and was so stinking cute. On Saturday someone came to the door and Cameryn asked me if they were going to give her some candy, kind of a reverse trick-or-treating...not a bad idea huh? She is inventive. Poor Jordyn spent the night at home handing out candy with mama...maybe next year she can go with Cam.
